Vaughnde Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 LSL #7 on CE1. Get Better Di. I'm still praying. Started on a Hat called Fan Edged Hat for mom's birthday present last night and I only need to do two more rows and its finished. If it is a bit too big on my own head then it will be too big on mom's and then in that case I'll make another in another yarn eliminating one row to have something snug to fit my mom's head. This one, following the pattern fits a 22" head. Mom's head and mine are both smaller than the norm Mine is really weird because its all mishapen from all the beatings I received at 19 with a belt buckle. No worries...I'm over the trauma...just carry the scars Happy President's Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the hat turns out to be to big, you can pick up a wide soft elastic, cut it to the proper length for head dimension, plus 1/2 inch for overlap. Stitch it together, then pin into hat rim, spacing tacks equally around the rim, then you can tack it around. I would used seperate tack stitches, so the band will move more easily. If you were to use a soft elastisized material, it would also work like a hat band. It would probably be faster to attach a band, than to make new hats. It's hard to find hats with bands, which I think is a very important part to a well made hat. :-) I'm so sorry that you were physically scarred because of someone's aggression, but happy that you have been able to deal with it emotionally. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I know how it goes it'll be faster around the 2nd time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatheranne Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Your needles must be flashing sparks V. lol I never thought of doing workups before, although I have done a couple inch bands of the central design to check out sizing. Have fun with it. Are you going to make a LO with the hats? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephRN Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 V, it turned out wonderfully. The hat looks like it's crochet too. I love the scallop pattern. Great job. I'm inspired to break out my hook & patterns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sara Arell Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 #9 on Hannah - boy, we will all scrap just about anything, huh? Great layout. Vaughnde, I am so jealous of your crocheted hat - I have been working on one for a month now and have ripped it out over and over again - wish I had your talents - my pattern seems too complicated and think that is te reason I can't get it finished - and it is such a cute hat. I have managed to produce about 20 different kinds of scarbes this last few weeks so think at least I am doing something right. Anyway, you are quite the pro! Would love to see the pic of it! I know your Mom will just love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great idea to use a butterfly. I love butterflies too and I know it will look aweseome! With all this chat about crochet, it makes me think about what I've made in the past. Mainly baby stuff, sweaters and hats, but one thing that I crocheted that was unique, was a pair of dress gloves - fingerless. They yellowed with age have a patina now, but are still very pretty. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
